All my plans this year fell through, took on a bunch of unsuitable jobs, and everything essentially went to hell. But life is now back to normal.
So I am going to do a short session this year. I have a month to play with. Booked a ferry to Santander at the start of October, and will get a bus to Oviedo on the same day it lands (hopefully), putting me on track to start the next day. Have looked at the gronze route plans, but would ideally like to do more on some of the days than they specify. I know I can walk 15-20 miles per day on most terrains, and would expect to hit Santiago by mid october within a couple of weeks of starting. Following that I intend to do Muxia and Fisterra. Then get my certificate of distance and maybe compostella, but its not massively important this year since I got one last year.
If anyone else is starting around that time, then maybe we can meet for a beer or wine somewhere.
I will be spending some time reading through past threads to get an idea of things, then maybe ask some questions.
As for the Madrid Camino, maybe in a couple of years (and might do it via Rome to make it more epic).
